Recipe Ingredients

<h3>1. Mix Dry Ingredients</h3>Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Make sure your baking powder is fresh for proper leavening.<h3>2.

How to Make Italian Christmas Cookies

To keep your leftover Italian Christmas Cookies fresh and delicious, here's how to store them.Room TemperatureStore the cookies in an airtight container. This prevents them from drying out and becoming stale. If you're stacking the cookies in a container, place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper between the layers. This will prevent the frosting from sticking and smudging. Store for up to 4 days.FreezerIf you want to store the cookies for a longer period, you can freeze them. Place the cooled, unfrosted cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to an airtight freezer bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 to 3 months. Thaw them completely, at room temperature, before frosting and serving.
